Limitation on Rhythm Pattern's Sound:
The Rhythm Machine has three sound sources and the maximum number of sounds that can be generated from the Rhythm Machine at a time is three.
Since two or three sounds are used for playing the rhythm pattern, the available sounds for playing the rhythm pattern will be reduced when
you generate the pad pattern and/or scratch sound. In this case, the rhythm pattern's sound will be changed.
Example:
The 8 BEAT-1 rhythm pattern you are playing uses three sounds.
• When you generate the pad pattern by pressing the Drum Pad A or when you generate the scratch sound by turning the Jog dial, the number
of sounds that will be assigned to the 8 BEAT-1 rhythm pattern will be reduced to two.
• When you generate the pad pattern and scratch sound at the same time, the number of sounds that will be assigned to the 8 BEAT-1 rhythm
pattern will be reduced to one.

MODE
You can play the Rhythm Machine alone or you can play it while the
other music source except Tuner is played.
The following shows the functional block diagram of the Rhythm Ma-
chine. As an example, signal flows that may be used are shown with the
thick gray lines. From this example, you can see that the scratch sound
and the drum pad pattern can be mixed with the Rhythm pattern. Also,
you can see that the music source (MIC and guitar in this example) can
be mixed with the output of the Rhythm Machine.
Tip: When you are playing a CD as a mixing source, you can change
the playback pitch (playback speed) of the CD within ±12%, by
using the CD PITCH CONTROL button and Jog dial on the
Unit. For details, see "CD Pitch Control" on page 12.
Note: The Rhythm Machine does not work if Tuner is selected.
